Shorting new coins for quick profit? This trader lets the data speak
【Blockchain Rhythm】 Traders are playing tricks again. Address 0x26359 has been active lately—today, they opened a 1x short position, directly投入 over 222,000 MEGA tokens, with the entry price pegged at $0.214. Currently showing an unrealized profit of over $5,700, with a liquidation price set at $0.3669. It sounds like the risk isn’t high, after all, the leverage is kept low.
Even more outrageous is this guy’s track record. Recently, he shorted MON, LIT, and FOGO, earning over $40,000 in one round. It seems this person is a new coin hunter, specifically targeting newly launched projects, taking advantage of high volatility to strike. Such operations are considered routine among professional traders, but the risks are obvious—new coins often have poor liquidity, few counterparties, and a black swan event could lead to liquidation instantly.
Made 5,700 and still holding? That’s bold. The liquidation price is only about 70% of the entry point, one spike could wipe it out instantly.
But on the other hand, I really respect this strategy of frequently shorting new coins—just worried that one day they’ll hit a landmine, and a black swan will make the account disappear in an instant.
Why do they still dare to do this given the poor liquidity of new coins? Do they have to wait until liquidation to realize they should have been more cautious?
Honestly, 1x leverage is quite safe, but I just wonder if luck will be on their side next time.
I need to keep this account in mind, watch their next moves, maybe I can find a pattern.
The recent $40,000 trading record sounds impressive, but my greatest respect for new coin hunters is—surviving and exiting counts as a win.
Liquidation price at 0.3669, with such a small margin from the entry point, one bearish candle and it's over. Isn't this just betting on black swan events that can't be predicted?
I've seen this kind of tactic before. On-chain data shows that whale addresses are becoming active again. Are we small retail investors about to be harvested? But I’ve seen through everything long ago.
Poor liquidity in new coins is a hard flaw that can't be fixed. Fewer counterparties mean what you think—one big order can break through. This brother's record is mostly due to luck.
